I'm low on cash so I make it based on demand. I like to have at least five on hand. Clearly demand isn't very high :)

I usually do copy runs of about 20 copies at a time, but I usually stop around 100 copies in total. I've got a bunch of different zines and I like my older ones to slowly go out of print as I'm making new ones. As well, usually by the time I've made a new copy, I'm kind of sick of the older copies, so I don't like to reprint them unless they were really popular or it's not a perzine or something.

My husband copies mine at work. He does around 25-30 copies and I've found that's enough.

i use my parents' photocopier when they are not looking, so that means i only make a half dozen or so copies at once, but with both issues of my zine, i have printed up more as i ran out and people asked for them. i feel like if i has plenty of cash, i would do it at the copy shop -- and then, ideally, i'd print ten or more. because collating and stapling is easier in bulk, not that collating 5 4-page zines is very hard though :)

I usually make about 50 for the first run, but I always recopy. I basically reprint until I'm no longer pleased with the zine.
